Pull more tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix regression of waiting a long time on updating trace event filters When the faultable trace points were added, it needed task trace RCU synchronization. This was added to the tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() function. The filter logic always called this function whenever it updated the trace event filters before freeing the old filters. This increased the time of "trace-cmd record" from taking 13 seconds to running over 2 minutes to complete. Move the freeing of the filters to call_rcu*() logic, which brings the time back down to 13 seconds. - Fix ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() error path lock protection The error path of the ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() released the mutex too early and allowed subsequent accesses to setting the subbuffer size to corrupt the data and cause a bug. By moving the mutex locking to the end of the error path, it prevents the reentrant access to the critical data and also allows the function to convert the taking of the mutex over to the guard() logic. - Remove unused power management clock events The clock events were added in 2010 for power management. In 2011 arm used them. In 2013 the code they were used in was removed. These events have been wasting memory since then. - Fix sparse warnings There was a few places that sparse warned about trace_events_filter.c where file->filter was referenced directly, but it is annotated with an __rcu tag. Use the helper functions and fix them up to use rcu_dereference() properly. * tag 'trace-v6.16-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Add rcu annotation around file->filter accesses tracing: PM: Remove unused clock events ring-buffer: Fix buffer locking in ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() tracing: Fix regression of filter waiting a long time on RCU synchronization

Running sparse on trace_events_filter.c triggered several warnings about file->filter being accessed directly even though it's annotated with __rcu. Add rcu_dereference() around it and shuffle the logic slightly so that it's always referenced via accessor functions.

When faultable trace events were added, a trace event may no longer use
normal RCU to synchronize but instead used synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace().
This synchronization takes a much longer time to synchronize.
The filter logic would free the filters by calling
tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() after it unhooked the filter strings
and before freeing them. With this function now calling
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() this increased the time to free a filter
tremendously. On a PREEMPT_RT system, it was even more noticeable.
# time trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1
[..]
real 2m29.052s
user 0m0.244s
sys 0m20.136s
As trace-cmd would clear out all the filters before recording, it could
take up to 2 minutes to do a recording of "sleep 1".
To find out where the issues was:
~# trace-cmd sqlhist -e -n sched_stack select start.prev_state as state, end.next_comm as comm, TIMESTAMP_DELTA_USECS as delta, start.STACKTRACE as stack from sched_switch as start join sched_switch as end on start.prev_pid = end.next_pid
Which will produce the following commands (and -e will also execute them):
echo 's:sched_stack s64 state; char comm[16]; u64 delta; unsigned long stack[];' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events
echo 'hist:keys=prev_pid:__arg_18057_2=prev_state,__arg_18057_4=common_timestamp.usecs,__arg_18057_7=common_stacktrace' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:__state_18057_1=$__arg_18057_2,__comm_18057_3=next_comm,__delta_18057_5=common_timestamp.usecs-$__arg_18057_4,__stack_18057_6=$__arg_18057_7:onmatch(sched.sched_switch).trace(sched_stack,$__state_18057_1,$__comm_18057_3,$__delta_18057_5,$__stack_18057_6)' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
The above creates a synthetic event that creates a stack trace when a task
schedules out and records it with the time it scheduled back in. Basically
the time a task is off the CPU. It also records the state of the task when
it left the CPU (running, blocked, sleeping, etc). It also saves the comm
of the task as "comm" (needed for the next command).
~# echo 'hist:keys=state,stack.stacktrace:vals=delta:sort=state,delta if comm == "trace-cmd" && state & 3' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/sched_stack/trigger
The above creates a histogram with buckets per state, per stack, and the
value of the total time it was off the CPU for that stack trace. It filters
on tasks with "comm == trace-cmd" and only the sleeping and blocked states
(1 - sleeping, 2 - blocked).

This shows that this particular trace waited for 99 seconds on
synchronize_rcu_tasks() in apply_subsystem_event_filter().
In fact, there's a lot of places in the filter code that spends a lot of
time waiting for synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() in order to free the
filters.
Add helper functions that will use call_rcu*() variants to asynchronously
free the filters. This brings the timings back to normal:
# time trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1
[..]
real 0m14.681s
user 0m0.335s
sys 0m28.616s
And the histogram also shows this:
